Is there a release date for Guild Wars 2’s fourth expansion?

While there’s confirmation that a new expansion is coming, the devs have warned that we’ll be waiting quite a while – especially given their extensive roadmap for End of Dragons’ upcoming content.

“We mean it when we say we’re focused on the long-term,” they highlight. “This is a very early confirmation (the earliest we’ve ever done this, in fact), so don’t expect news anytime soon.”

Concluding that “expansions take a very long time to develop. Plus, there are plenty of cool things to look forward to between now and then,” the next installment in the Guild Wars 2 story may be a while away, but at least we can ponder away to our heart’s content about its contents.


So that’s everything we know about the next Guild Wars 2 expansion, the fourth chapter in the game’s classic tale.
